| Where is great audio going? - Headphones and Mid-Cost I've been arguing that this is a shrinking hobby, but for some reason people want to argue with me though the evidence seems obvious. I feel like it's like so many other arts which were once prevalent and now niche hobbies, such as wine, basket we... | |
| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference Yeah. They're completely different architectures with completely different gain devices and very different feedback schemes. Nelson likes to say MOSFETs are superior output devices so there's that when it comes to transistors. If you like what you... | |
| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? Awesome! Glad to hear you're pleased with it! Let than warm up before listening. Give it a good hour at least. I give my F5 2 hours but it clearly opens up around an hour depending on ambient temperature. That thing should idle as hot as a mug of ... | |
| Fuse upgrade from factory..... I recommend getting your equipment repaired so that something as insignificant as a fuse makes no difference. | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks That's not my understanding of how an SMPS works at all. A simple SMPS converts mains voltage to DC and filters it a little. DC is then pipes into some kind of transistors, typically a FET, which is driven by an IC. The output side is coupled to t... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @atmasphere So it only makes a difference if I drive my amp to the physical limits of it's power supply, which nobody ever actually does? | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? It's not really a thing designed to add second order harmonic. It's a pot that balances the VAS. When the VAS is out of balance one way or the other it produces negative or positive phase second harmonic distortion. P3 in the F5 does the exact sam... | |
| Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen! Doubtful since gigantic panels of glass pretty much demolish anything resembling good imaging. | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks invictus005I seriously doubt there's an SMPS in any audio amplifier that's as life threatening as the big linear supplies resting in the heart of any class A amp. I get accused of my F5 being easy to build. I at least stuffed boards and stuck prob... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? Dowto1000Here's a list of Pass amps with no feedback...F1, F1J, F2, F2J, F4, M2, SIT1, SIT2, SIT3.Those are all amps that will drive an actual speaker load. I'm not sure you could even call a .3 watt amplifier a "flea power" amp. Perhaps "microbe ... | |
| Pass Labs Amplifier Meter meaning? Pass explains this pretty well...And yes, this is still what he says at Burning Amp.https://www.passlabs.com/press/leaving-class | |
| Threshold verse Pass Labs how can I justify significant price difference I'd hardly say there's no significant difference between Threshold products and Pass Labs! Major differences to note: Pass Labs amps use FETs instead of BJTs, they use Su-Sy feedback, they're high bias region is single ended rather than balanced. ... | |
| Measuring impedance with multimeter Recluse,To be technically accurate, you're not measuring impedance with a multimeter. You're measuring resistance. Impedance applies to the resistance of an alternating signal. Also consider the thing you're measuring. A driver is an inductor plac... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need C'mon, b4icu... Don't bail on us now. We're waiting with baited breath to learn how Nelson Pass went down the wrong path. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound 1988Eldorado,I’m totally on board with you. This stuff makes NO technical sense, and no matter how much you try to tell people that there’s something seriously wrong with their gear if a breaker box makes a difference, they’ll swear that REALLY go... |
